About Us

Bridge to Freedom is a not- for- profit organization located at 130 N. Central Ave in Chicago, Illinois 60644

Vision: God will flip this city upside down, using people who have been discarded by this world to demonstrate His wisdom and glory-bringing peace, life, and joy to Chicago and beyond. God will:· Turn today’s inmates into tomorrow’s mentors and leaders· Break generational curses by transforming inner-city families into living, vibrant cells of the Body of Christ· Make obsolete the attraction of gangs as “family” by the relentless love of Jesus pouring irresistibly through the family of God· Make an open mockery of the lie of drugs through the power and joy of the Holy Spirit· Join together fractured, neighborhood instances of the Body of Christ (the Church) under the unifying power of the Holy Spirit· Revive Chicago from the inside out to be a Kingdom fortress on Planet Earth.Mission: … to equip, develop and empower a desperate and broken people who are reentering life from prison to Chicago to lead their families and communities out of bondage into interdependent wholeness, freedom, and life.Goal: We will reduce recidivism from over 50% to less than 10% for our graduates while releasing them as powerful leaders and change-agents into the broken neighborhoods from which they came.Values:

Heaven-to-earth perspective: having an attitude of prayer and a lifestyle of worship, we fix our eyes on Jesus, not on what is seen- agreeing with all that he says.

Relationship rules: living under the covenant and power of love, we are motivated to honor the gold in each individual- not because we have to but because we want to.

Living in freedom: choosing out of love (trust), never fear (bondage) and leaving all judgments to God.

The Body of Christ is the answer: The “problem” belongs to society but a sleeping Church holds the keys- freeing the incarcerated from bondage and waking the sleeping Church is one and the same act of grace.
